#9 Get Protein with Every Meal
Protein is the best place to get the majority of your daily calories. Protein will keep you full for longer as well as speed up your metabolism and help keeping that appetite in check. Thankfully there are many source of protein to incorporate into every meal.
#8 Don’t Drink Your Calories
Make smarter decisions when choosing a beverage. Soda is the enemy to a nutritious diet. You don’t need the extra sugar or calories when there are so many better choices available. One 12 ounce coke has 140 calories in it alone.
#7 Eat Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
We should all be eating at least 3 serving of both fruits and veggies every day. Getting them both fresh is, of course, the best way to get the most nutrients from them. When these foods undergo the canning process, the heat involved takes away a lot of those natural benefits that they have.
#6 Drink Green Tea
The infamous, green tea has for many years been associated with weight loss and health. It has been said to benefit your bones, your metabolism, and even reduce the appetite. The simple addition of this tea to your daily routine will surely help you maintain good health.
#5 Get a Full Night’s Sleep
If you are not getting enough sleep your metabolism can actually be effected, and not in a good way. Not to mention, who would want to work while tired. This is a simple thing that we all need anyway, to keep you alert and refreshed.
#4 Don’t Forget to Exercise
Whether you are trying to gain muscle mass, lose weight, or just maintain your health; exercise is important with all these aspects. You don’t have to go crazy with it, for example a simple daily twenty minute workout would do wonders.
#3 Choose Healthful Snacks
Before you go grab a bag of chips for a snack, think about the benefits you’ll gain from them. The answer is none. There are plenty of healthier alternatives like fruit, vegetables, raw nuts, and the list goes on.
#2 Eat Eggs for Breakfast
Why have a bagel full of carbs when you could be getting some extra protein to fuel your mind and body first thing in the morning. One large egg only has about 70 calories and at least 6 grams of protein. It is a very versatile food that can be prepared many ways, so you won’t get bored.
#1 Drink your Coffee Black
Coffee can be a benefit not only with weight loss, but also with your daily health. You need to be wary of adding all the extras to it. Black coffee is a calorie free source of caffeine, but when you start adding cream and sugar it can become as bad as a soda. If you really hate it black, then try just reducing the amounts of cream and sugar you add.
